It was fairly early in the morning when I did this one, having done Eagle Mtn (Modoc) the day before. There was a huge amount of people in the area and so I wanted to get this one done before most of them got up and started driving on the dirt roads (dust, lots of dust). I went down to the small lake and then up, fairly close to the tree line. I noted that Bob Packard had signed the register with green which indicated that Lassen County was the final county highpoint in California for him. Dennis Poulin, my companion for Eagle the day before had done Hat just two days prior after doing Star in Nevada on the same day. Yikes, what a day that was for him. Nice views but Eagle Mtn is more of a gem.

An enjoyable time with plenty of cross country travel. Someone has put up orange surveyors tape along the faint trail along the stream that helped with the trip back to the car. I got Ingalls Peak (Plumas CoHP) later that day
